Come join us for UnderDeveloped 2026!
We’re back this July for another round of talks, playtests, doodles, walks, and more.
What is it?
UnderDeveloped is a relaxed unconference to celebrate all things games and play: DIY, unfinished, works in progress. Inspired generally by Barcamps, specifically by Lost Levels, and most importantly by having a bunch of wonderful inspiring game makers visiting the city this week.
UnderDeveloped invites you to remember why you got into this industry in the first place, and hopes to connect people back to their playful and creative roots. There’s no set topic or keynote speaker. It’s entirely free to attend, participants decide what to talk about and anyone can join in.
Have a look at our round-up of UnderDeveloped 2024 to see what it’ll be like.
What would I talk about?
You can run a session on whatever you want. Talk about your niche hobby, share a game idea, run a craft session, a ukulele jam, whatever interests you and that you’d like to share with a willing audience. Sessions are 20 minutes and are meant to be fairly informal.
When you turn up you can propose a session and it’ll get added to the list, or you can sign up below and propose something in advance.
Where and When?
Wednesday 15th July
Brunswick Square, Brighton
From 1-4pm. The end time could be a little flexible depending on how many speakers want to get involved, but we will aim for around three hours of sessions.
Look out for the UnderDeveloped sign and gamey folks on picnic blankets.
(In case of wet weather, we’ll move indoors or reschedule. We’ll update with more info this closer to the time.)
Sign up
You don’t have to sign up in order to attend, but if you do, it will help us plan for numbers, give us an idea of how many people want to talk, what refreshments to bring and how many post-its and picnic blankets we’ll need!

Would you like to sponsor UnderDeveloped?
We promise you no return on investment, but are happy to hand out stickers or merch if you have it. Sponsorship is to support the growth and development of a national indie game scene.
Each sponsor slot costs £50. Email above if you are interested. Sponsor money will go on, seating, drinks, snacks, pens, paper and post-it notes, and it we have anything left over we will donate it to the Friends of Brunswick Square.
